With this new form of evolution, certain Pokémon could, for a short period of time, evolve even further than their evolutionary lines previously permitted. What that means is that the Charizard you always wished could evolve, just one more time, finally can.
When Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were released in winter 2014, it was clear that Mega Evolution would be here to stay. A whole new batch of Pokémon were now capable of Mega Evolving, expanding all would-be Pokémon masters' battle repertoires once again.
So, whether you love it or loathe it, Mega Evolution isn't going anywhere. Let's take a look at some of the coolest Mega Evolutions that the Pokémon world has given to us."

Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
